Two Ex CoSvICTs ATTEMPT AN OUT
RAGE-ONE OF THEM FOUND IN
FULL BLOOM OF A TREE.

On Wednesday night Of last week,
while one of the best known and most
highly respected citizens of this par
ish, was away from home, one Will
Washington, colored: who has served
one term in the penitentiary, and Levy
Abraham, also colored, who has served
the State in the same capacity for two
full terms, concocted diabolical
scheme to outrage his family. The
lady of the house was sick at the time
and two young ladies occupied an ad,
joining room. Late at night, one Of
the young ladies was awakened by
slight noise in the room, when she dis
covered and recognized viii Wash
lngton leaning over their bed, in the
very &C. Of laying violent hands upon
his intended victim. She at once
screamed, which aroused the whole
household, and strange to say, the de-
mon abandoned his scheme and beat
hasty retreat. The neighborhood
was at once aroused, and the greatest
excitement prevailed.
Next morning the track of the cul-
prit was followed, which led directly
to VIII Washington's house. He was
arrested, confessed his guilt, and said
that Levy Abraham was with him.
We don't know what become Of Abra-
ham, but the next thing heard of Will
Washington was that he was discover
ed hanging to the limb of a tree near
the colored church on the Evans place
dead, dead, dead 1t is useless to
deny TIE fact, that probably the best
citizens of the Parish participated in
the hanging, but at the same time We
must beg our friends to keep perfectly
quiet, and let mum be the word for
some good people are trying to elect
Gen. Nichols Governor, and we might
then see another Tensas Parish pro-
clamation; as we all know that he did,
while Governor, let one man hang, for
killing the despoiler of his family
honors, and he would probably be
worse on the slayers of Will Washing
ton, as he only attempted to perpe-
trate the outrage.-DeSoto Democrat.

Did the Jews Cruelty Christ?

Edward b. M. Browne, lectureo at
Blocker Hall last evening on "Ihe
Crucifxion of Christ, or Did the Jey 8
Cruelty Christi" He was introduced
by q Christian minister, the Rev. W
H. Tracy, of Dundee, and number
of christians was present. He treated
his suSiect under the following heads,
l. DID the Jews Cruelty Christi 2.
Were they instrumental in his craci-
fixion7. 3. Did they endorse it' 4.
Does the Jew of to-day approve III
s. Does history testify to their suffer
ings in consequence. He portrayed
the condition of Palestine under the
Romans Galilee was the poor and
superstitious part of the country. 1t
had gathered a mixed population
the dregs of foreign armies that had
crossed it. To the more enlightened
Judeans Gali!ean leader was regar-
ded in about the same light that the
English would regard man from the
poorest county in Ireland. At this
time Christ appeared, His miracles
had been among the ignorant Of Gal
ilee. Whenever lie happened at Je-
rusalem he went abont in the night,
confded his secret only to woman,
and if he chanced to do anything mar
velous had disappeared before any one
could find who he was, vet his mira
c!es had g:vel him notoriety enough
to attract the attention of the Romans.
He came up to h Passover and Sc
cured his lodgings secretly in back
upper room.
The speaker believed that Judas
had confessed to his master and COM
rade that the Roman police had ap-
preached him and offered to protect
Jesus during the feast, This Judas
had thought the safest thing to do,
and had SO counseled. Hence, when
the alarm was given, Jesus said t.,
Judas: "Go quickly" intending to let
the Romans take himself in charge,
while the disciples scattered. Judas
did not dream of the soldiers inten.
tons " hen he gave his master to them
He did not need the silver. In the
years of his treasurership he had many
chances to steal all the apostles had
but was too honest to do it-and now
when he learns what is to he done
with the master he loves so much, he
throws away the money and hangs
himself in despair. DR.. Brown asked
for one example in history where q
ttaitor committed suicide. Such mar
has reached point too far beyond re-
morse for that, and examples were
cited from history. The slow and
careful proceedings of the Sanhedrim
the strict Jewish customs at Passover
which prevented their participation in
any kind of civil procecdings-the d.
lays necessary in the courts of those
times-the absence of Jews at the
last scene all go to throw blame on
the Romans. The reverence with
which Christ is referred to in the Tai
mud and treated by the Jews to-day
goes to prove their disapproval of hi.

the Jews in all parts of the world, the
eminence that some Of them, such al

How To KILL A TowN.-Oppose
its improvements.
Run it down to strangers.
Go to some other town to trade.
Do not invest cent; lay your mo-
ney out somewhere else.
Lengthen your face when q stran-
ger talks of locating in it.
If a man wants to bny your prop
perty charge him two prices.
If he wants to buy any body else's,
interfere and discourage him.
Be sure to discredit the motive of
public spirited citizens.
Do your best to divide your town
upein factions, and keep one fighting
the other.
If you can't hog everything, Judge
everything by yourself and accuse
them of doing it.
When a meeting is cal'el for some
pnblic enterprise, stay away from it
and thereby show others that you
would not think of doing anything for
the town you live in.
By carefully following these rules
a good healthy kicker can do wonders
toward keeping desirable people ont
of town and disgust public-spirited
ones in it so they will want to go
away.
